Ep. 493: What is Education For?

About this episode

The Governor of Oregon recently signed a bill eliminating any proficiency tests for Oregon high school students. All in the name of "equity." She argued that "students of color" had difficulty meeting the requirements, so instead of working to raise students--all students--to those standards, they just eliminated them.

I discuss education, Oregon, and Weaver in this episode of the Brion McClanahan Show.
